TABLE 5.

Asymmetry proportion comparisons in the analyzed biosignals: the asymmetry occurrence between supine (S1), the initial part of tilt (T1), and the pre-syncope phase of tilt (T2) in the head-up tilt test in vasovagal patients obtained by Porta’s Index (PI > 50) and Guzik’s Index (GI > 50 and GIS < 50).
